Kaczorów
Located in the southeastern part of the Kaczawskie Mountains, Kaczorów is a village with a long history. The village likely existed in the 13th century, and its documented form dates back to at least the first half of the 14th century. For a certain period, it was part of the Cistercian Abbey in Lubiąż. From the second half of the 19th century, Kaczorów gained popularity as a tourist destination, serving both as a stopover on the route from Wrocław to the Karkonosze Mountains and as a starting point for exploring the Ołowiane Mountains and the Kaczawskie Mountains.
Although currently overlooked by tourists, it has several noteworthy objects.
The parish church of St. Nicholas was built in the Gothic style in the 15th century and reconstructed in the 18th century. The church is surrounded by a wall with a gate, in which stone tombstones from the 16th to 18th centuries are placed. Next to it stands the former evangelical church from 1904, currently auxiliary. It is a hall building with a laterally added tower. On both sides of the main entrance, there are polygonal turrets with staircases leading to the gallery level.
On the other side of the main road from Wrocław to Jelenia Góra, there is a palace that originated from the two 19th-century reconstructions of a Renaissance manor from the 16th century. It consists of two wings, and at the junction of these wings, there is a round tower with a conical roof. Next to the palace, there is a terraced garden layout, along with remnants of a small landscape park.
